I'm not sure how many others there are out there, but I'd love an opportunity to pick up the full Rise of the Runelords AP. Does Paizo have any plans to reprint adventure paths after they've sold out?
Some of the issues are still available, but I hesitate to start buying them from fear that I'll never be able to get #1 or #3.
They can be found on Amazon and Ebay used at ridiculous prices. I'm not concerned with the collectors value, I just want to be able to run them.
I'm also not concerned with them being updated to PRPG rules. That would be a bonus, but not required for me to purchase it.
As a relatively new gamer (almost two years under my belt now) I didn't start running games until a little less than a year ago. I didn't find Paizo until a couple months before the Pathfinder RPG released.
Any chance for some love for those of us who didn't find this fantastic community and company until recently?

At this time they don't have plans to reprint.
My local store had some good condition used copies of all six issues of the first AP in their used game shelf. They were only asking retail price for them. If you want I could work something out with you to help you get them, assuming they still have them. If you are interested, send me an email at prozinskij@yahoo.com.

Please see Why We Don't Reprint.
However, PDFs of each volume are—and will continue to be—available.
@Jesse
You might wanna take a look at the Anniversary Edition.
EDIT: Out of curiosity I found a viable Why We Don't Reprint thread.

That link appears to be dead now.
How about doing POD?
I can't run an adventure from a PDF. Just doesn't work for me.
Well, you did cast animate thread on a thread that was more than five years old...
Since then, Paizo released a compiled, revised, and updated hardcover version of "Rise of the Runelords," the previously-mentioned Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition.
On that note... if you do want to run something that's out-of-print, but still available on PDF, you can always have the PDF printed!
I just spent $70 on a copy of Kingmaker vol. 1.
That's $70 that I would've paid to Paizo if they were interested in money.
Just FYI the community use license allows you to use POD - buy the PDF and get it printed - cheaper than 70 bucks last time I checked.
They don't offer a POD option because they don't believe the quality is good enough at the moment, however you are allowed to print 1 copy for your own use.
Funny story.
Last time I went to a print shop to print a file, they refused. I pointed out that the file included permission to reprint. The clerk said "Well you could've just written that up and faked it. We need a signed letter from the company."
It really depends on the store. I have seen this complained about also.
Someone went to Staples and was refused, but another person went to a different store(Staples), and had no issue with it.Some stores will allow you to do it yourself and bypass the cleric. However if you want it bound then you may have to use them.

Staples have resident clerics? Damn, I better mask my alignment before I go into that store again! ;-)

Well, Staples does sell clerical supplies...
I myself am a member of their Frequent Stabber Discount on bulk stakes, tho really for garlic and holy water your best bet is Costco:-)

People have reported success using lulu - there are others online as well - I've yet to see some photos of a finished product but I'm pretty confident they are 'good enough to run from'
I *have* seen a photo of a finished PoD book from one of the 3rd party AP's - here is a link
Looks good enough to me. IIRC last time I checked it was looking like around 24 bucks to print a standard AP - less if I took out the AD pages. I have heard it a pain to upload - as in takes a bit to figure out how to make their software happy.
I buy the hardcovers, but I usually just buy PDFs of the softcovers I want. (Exception: I subscribe to Adventure Path, so I always get both of those.)
I usually print out my own grayscale copy of each book. Of course, I have access to free grayscale printing (within reason) as a job perk. As long a I don't print out much more than a few hundred pages a month, I'm OK. Punch the sheets with a 3-hole punch and stick 'em in a 3-ring binder.
If you need to have it printed, check around with different print shops. Also check the same shop at different times of the week: You might get different answers from different employees. You can also bring a laptop to show your PDF assigned to you, the watermark on your document with your name and account number, and the section on Paizo site that grants customers rights to print a copy for personal use. (If you take that tack, show that to the store manager, not just the clerk at the desk.)
